The Softshell Crab, Crudo, Scallops, Halibut were all amazing! The Cheesecake Crème brûlée is a must! Great service, ensured no use alcohol in any of the dishes we ordered.

We went there for dinner and had their prix fixed menu. The food was pretty good. Previous night we went to chez panisse - between the two restaurants- I prefer this one. This restaurant has been in business for a very long time. They’ve kept up their food quality and service. There’s a beautiful view of the bridge from the back part of the dinning room. Definitely recommend for date night and special occasions.

I’ve visited Boulevard twice — once for dinner and once for cocktails with a friend — and both experiences were wonderful. The dinner was absolutely excellent. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and the quality of the ingredients was outstanding. You can truly tell that great attention is paid to every detail. I would make just one small suggestion: considering the elegance and high standard of the restaurant, upgrading the wine glasses to more refined ones would enhance the overall experience even further. The bar was fantastic as well. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. My friend ordered a cocktail that she didn’t love, and the bartenders were happy to replace it without any hesitation. And the pâté was simply outstanding — absolutely delicious. Boulevard is a true San Francisco classic, and I look forward to coming back again 🌸💕

It’s always thrilling for my family to sit at the chef’s dining counter. Love seeing how things come together and the talented chefs make magic for the senses! Beauty created in organized chaos! It’s like watching a real-life version of a Food Network show - the thrill of seeing your meals being prepared. I’m always excited about the plating part. The whole experience is very personal with the chefs chatting with you and answering questions. This is our go to place for fine food!

Boulevard is clearly a polished, high-caliber restaurant. The staff was attentive and professional, the décor gorgeous, and the Mission Street location hard to beat. The food was very well prepared and thoughtfully executed, though portions were on the modest side. Our crab salads were flavorful but light on crab. The lamb was tasty but leaned fattier than expected. The filet mignon, however, was excellent—tender and flavorful—though it arrived a touch red in the center despite being ordered medium well. With a bill of $325 before tip, we were hoping to be a bit more wowed. Boulevard offers a refined gastronomic experience, but for us it fell just short of the high expectations set by its reputation.
